Microsoft Win/Win32 Section

I will update this section step by step, when I will create more material. Good reading.

Haven't you always said that Microsoft sucks?. Yes and this truth is day by day clearer to me. But a game, even though made of the worst material and without a good logic, can be played, if you know how to play it in a non-conventional way (resembling the conventional one, but who cares?).

The second aim of this section is to show that my attacks against MS Windows are not blindly taken from the Web, or by someone else's mouth. I do use it (I am forced to use it!). And now I am going to program it. And I can see how ill it is.

If you are not using Internet Explorer, some contents make no sense and I try to hide it (indentify as MSIE and you can see it). Anyway if you want to see it you can also click here.

First exempla could be:

• drename.bat that after a little bit of tuning can be used to rename files and folders prepending their creation date and changing spaces into underscores. Do not forget to read inside (as text) before to use this tools.
• renamelnk.cmd rename LNK files that has Shortcut to prefix. This works on already created links; to avoid that behaviour you must put your hands on the registry, or use old powertoy (TweakUI by Microsoft), or there exists other solutions (one is really microsoftilly)
• The listrecent.html is a HTML containing Microsoft JavaScript, uses ActiveXObject to access the registry keys where are stored recent files. You must allow it to run if you want to see it (three left-clicks needed on my system); if you don't trust me, save as the file and take a look with an editor (Wordpad could go). If IE says the script is slowing down the performance, let it run anyway until it finishes. Then you can read the recent files/folders you accessed! A little bit scary to me since I thought to have deleted every recents lists!

The MS Windows cmd is indeed a toy (think about unix shells...), anyway sometimes it can do it's job. WScript/CScript technologies allow more (see JScript and VBScript, that can create ActiveXObject and ...)
